TO ALL WIIOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. DICKINSON, of Chicopee Falls, in the county of 'I'Iampden, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a. Mzicliine for Cutting Hay, Straw, and other material; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, rei'erencebeing had to the accompanying drawings and letters oi reference forming a part of this specification.

Arepresents the cutter-head; 13 represents the feed-hopper; G C represent two lovers attached to the cutter-head and running backward on each side of the feed-hopper to the fixed shaft D, on which they rotate, as the cutter rises and falls; E represents the balance-wheel shaft, which is geared to the shaft G; F represents the connections by which the, cutter is operated; II II are geared together and operate the feed-rolls with intermittent motion, that motion being communicated from the wheel G by moons of the swing-catch K.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A device for cutting wherein the cutter shall rise and fall on the are of a circle, using for that purpose the lovers 0 C, the cutter/I, the connections F, the shaft Cr, and the swing-catch K, in combination. I
